I've been working my way through a cold this weekend and feel much better than I did Saturday. Erik and I did bills this afternoon. Always a pleasure. But we're paid up-always a good thing. Money isn't flowing like cham…
"Happy Hogwatch!" my older son said through the phone from Oregon. "What?" I asked back. "Happy Hogwatch!" He repeated. I stayed silent, thinking I heard him say Happy Hogwash! Which for me is a totally inappropriate gre…
Tis the day before Christmas and I'm sitting at work. Driving into the office this morning, the roads seemed desserted. They were not packed chock a block with the usual crowd of workers and school busses.One car in fron…
Where to start? Work has been ok. The epidural I had Wednesday seems to have helped a bit, but when I try to do more than just sit around or indulge in a quiet activity, my legs start to ache something fierce. I feel as …
I'm cautiously keeping my fingers and toes crossed. We made two trips this week to Dartmouth-Hitchcock for consults on my spine. The first visit, with Dr. S. was intense and overwhelming. He did at this visit what I expe…
OH, Christmas Tree!
It's a quiet day at work, so I've been cruising the Web, making the rounds on Xanga. In between I've been cruising around the office looking to see if anyone needs any help. They don't. This is a good thing. We've gotte…
Maybe things are turning a corner. I had my appointment with the gynecologist today. They fibroids I have are not that large and will probably shrink with the onset of menopause. His talk was reassuring and I felt better…
Snow came again last night, mixed with sleet. I am happy to be home, drinking my coffee, playing with the computer. The Chief is off to an arson investigator meeting and the house is mine. With him home so much in the la…
The Christmas tree decorating at Marci's was fun. Dinner was a soup of many beans with vegetables, accompanied by that loaf of bread I had baked earlier in the day. Marci's tree was full and absolutely gorgeous with all…
I went to church today for the first time in ages. The sanctuary was beautifully decorated with greens. I felt peaceful, sitting there with the others. I'm glad I went. My husband looks very happy, not to be working. He…
Erik's retirement annuity has been "processed" and we are now in possession of the funds. I am grateful I insisted he put money into that account when he didn't want to. I am wondering what's in store after that's gone. …
I Feel the kind of restless in my soul right now that is usually cured by moving. We had Hollywood snow last night: light and fluffy with sparkles like sequins strewn through the drifts. I want to take my skis out in it.…
It's lunchtime. I've finished my simple meal of tuna fish salad and clemantines, yet I'm not at all ready to sign in early and do more work. I'm not complaining- the work load has been very manageable this week, which is…
Hugh Laurie was explaining to me the best bondage games to play with food. I had President Bush sold on my plan for stabilizing the Middle East and getting us out of Iraq while bringing peace and harmony to the region. M…
Life continues to become more interesting. My husband lost his job Friday. It's a bit of a shock and we're both reeling from the news. He's taking it better than I thought he would, but then he's always been good at comp…
